So this is so weird. This afternoon, I was given an update for the iPhone Hootsuite app. The updates said “just bug fixes,” but its so much more!!!
This update has some great new features, geotagging, Reply to all… it keeps track of your last users in a contact page for easy reference… sort of like tweetdeck. There is a translate tweet function also. This new version, version 1.1.0, allows you to integrate facebook also. Very slick.
Here are screen shots to prove it. Whats odd, is at 9:00 PM CST, I seem to be the only person talking about this… well @rosslarocco and I are talking about it. But no hootsuite blog activity, no talk about it on twitter. The hootsuite paid app has been pulled from the itunes app store, the lite version is still available 1.0.6.
Whats going on? Am I an unsuspecting beta tester?
Very interesting this doesn’t appear in any hashtags, or RSS feeds of any kind.
Yep: I downloaded the update and lost all functionality. Now, it’s just a pretty picture of an owl that dumps me back to my home screen after a few seconds.
I’ve been asking Hootsuite about this for several days now. Usually they’re right on it, but not this time. Something is going on, fer sure!
I do a LOT of tweeting on the road, so if it doesn’t start working soon, may have to switch because it’s cramping my style!
Something *is* up and all will be revealed soon – pardons for being elusive/evasive but stand by …
